[Ep.37] The Trap of Conceptualisation
58m · PublishedThe Western world view is one of engineering and logic. It has solidified the already pervasive habit of intellectualising the human experience. By applying mental concepts to our surroundings, our identity and our mind, we severely limit and even distort our perception thereof.

[Ep.36] I Surrender - Freedom through Acceptance
50m · PublishedApathy is not caring about what goes on with you and around you. Acceptance, on the other hand, is deliberately allowing things within and around you to be the way they are. It is the absence of expectations and intellectual concepts. With this absence the subconscious, and nature in general, can flow freely, heal itself and you can be more passionate about your interests than before.

[Ep.35] Why Anger?!
53m · PublishedYou cannot be angry at someone without first being angry at yourself. What exactly is the process that happens automatically, subconsciously and with lightning speed which is triggered by something not going the way we wanted or expected? Steve and William share their current understanding of this topic and how they have dealt with it in their own lives.

[Ep.34] Self Confidence comes from within
58m · PublishedTrusting in one's own abilities and believing in one's own value is something that cannot be created or built. Self confidence comes about naturally by resolving inner conflicts and allowing any outer conditions to transpire. Trying to change your circumstances without first working on your inner world is futile and only leads to people living a charade. By becoming conscious of our inner processes we come to find a treasure trove inside of us which then enables us to easily and peacefully interact with the outside world.

[Ep.33] A traumatised collective heals through individual awakening
1h 2m · PublishedMental distress in adults can often be traced back to their childhood. The underlying traumatic experience in the past has been suppressed so that every-day life can continue in a more or less normal way. There are indications of a society-wide trauma complex that causes the majority of us to remain subdued and obedient to authoritarianism our entire lives. But it is so subtle and unconscious that we have become blind and acquiescent to ongoing oppression. Who will discover this hidden snare in their psyche and consciously step out of it?

[Ep.32] You shouldn't should - The toxicity of expectations and absolutes
48m · PublishedHow much of your behaviour comes from your freely made decisions? And how much of your every-day life is run by subconscious programs? From day one we are influenced by the actions and inactions of people around us. They inadvertently, and sometimes deliberately, shape our perspective and thereby our reasoning and decision-making. Can we rise to a level of consciousness that allows us to view these subliminal messages from the outside without being invested in them? Or are we doomed to repeat the cycle and unwittingly pass them on to the next generation?

[Ep.31] Learning to differentiate thoughts, emotions and sensations
54m · PublishedWe have thousands of thoughts and feelings each and every day. How many of them are we aware of? How many of them remain subconscious and unnoticed? Are you content with the thought patterns installed in your subconscious and the resulting emotions? Do they work in your favour and motivate your to take productive actions and experience pleasant sensations? Or do you feel like the victim of your own brain without the necessary control to freely make your own decisions? Learning to identify and distinguish these inner workings is an important step to this end.

[Ep.30] Choose your own Purpose in Life
58m · PublishedAre you free to create your own path in life? Or are you following a script? Everyone is in both situations to one degree or another. The more we choose to drop beliefs about who we SHOULD be and what we SHOULD be doing with our time and energy, though, the more we are free to choose our own values, goals and methods of achieving them. This process is one way of filling our life and those of others with purpose and meaning.

[Ep.28] Our Instinct for Revenge
1h 7m · PublishedHow would you react if you or a loved one were to be violated? Would you be blinded by rage, seeking nothing less than brutal vengeance? Or would you be able to distance yourself from that terrible experience and be content with the judicial process taking its course? Could you ever forgive the perpetrator? Or would his cruel act leave a vexing mark on your soul forever? In today's episode Steven and I discuss these and related questions and what we learn about our internal nature in response to outward experiences of undeserved crisis.
